Issue 6: Guardian Update
“The cost of living crisis isn’t ‘new’ news any more, but we’re all still either feeling the impact or at a the very least, hearing updates via the media on pretty much a daily basis.
Issue 6 of ‘InformMe’ examines this topic within the protection space, sharing some key insights and commentary from Guardian – the latest insurer to join UnderwriteMe’s Protection Platform, partnering with us in September of last year.
The key focus is around protection market expectations for this year, including first-hand feedback into the strategies being adopted by Advisers to navigate through challenging times.
I hope you find both newsletter and webinar to be relevant and insightful – please do tell us if there are any future topics you’d like us to cover!” – Phil Nash, Director, UnderwriteMe
Thank you to our partners for featuring in this issue.

The pay out gave Lesley-Ann the time to rebuild herself, rebuild her life and gave her a future to look forward too.
VIDEO: Why Guardian?
For many customers, protection products can seem complicated and ambiguous. This makes them feel that policies are designed to put the provider’s interests before their own.
It’s this negative perception that makes the protection conversation much tougher for you. What’s more, overly complex underwriting and application processes can make your job even harder.
At Guardian, we think you and your clients deserve better.
Discover the reasons why advisers should recommend a Guardian protection policy.
